Father's Day Gadgetry

Father's Day came early for me this year, because I'm taking off on Father's Day a week from today, with Dara, to Europe. Seeing me lug so many books to Bethany must have spurred the kids on to get me the Sony eBook. I think I blogged about wanting one of these a while back. The trick here is that the display is white and the lettering shows up black. There is no back-light on it; in fact, you need to have good lighting to read just like you would any other book. It only burns the battery down during the act of changing pages. Very cool. Seems very easy to read even for my old eyes.

First book downloaded: The Navigator of New York, by Wayne Johnston. Basically a frozen bozo book by the guy who wrote Colony of Unrequited Dreams that I liked. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks Garrett and Kyla!
